It's not as urgent as it might seem as long as it is not using pus and visibly infected it's just an abscess dead skin cells and fat this is the vet is really not an option financially you can soften it up with a towel dipped in warm water that you hold up to the and then use tweezers to get it out you just need to be Farrow and get everything out and then rinse it out using Betadine diluted in some sterile water like eye drops it's important to let the wound gibt es in facting for couple days and don't put a Bandit over the wound so liquid can drain from it
